Conte skips press conference ahead of Bologna vs Napoli | OneFootball

Antonio Conte is suspended for Napoli’s upcoming Serie A match against Bologna, so he won’t hold a classic pre-match press conference ahead of the Stadio Dall’Ara clash.

Italian sources, including CalcioNapoli24, report that Napoli coach Conte will not speak to the media to preview a Serie A match against Bologna at the Stadio Dall’Ara.

The Partenopei will play away on Monday night in the final game of Serie A Week 31.

Conte received his fifth yellow card in the current campaign during Sunday’s 2-1 win over Milan, so he received a one-game ban, which will force him to the stands in Bologna next week.

Napoli sit second in the Serie A table, just three points below table leaders Inter.

The Nerazzurri will visit strugglers Parma at the Stadio Tardini on Saturday, three days before a Champions League quarter-final first leg against Bayern Munich.

Napoli hired Conte last summer. The Italian tactician’s contract at the Stadio Maradona runs out in June 2027.
